“People experience me as a therapist who is extremely warm, yet able to relate in a straightforward and compassionate way.

“Psychotherapy is a process of self discovery and change, at times challenging but ultimately profound and rewarding.

I provide psychotherapy to adults (individuals and couples) and adolescents.

“I work closely and collaboratively with individuals and couples to move them beyond old, repetitive and unhappy patterns that hinder growth and freedom. Change happens in a deeply personal way, and never without trepidation. Effective therapy is a mutual undertaking in which fears, anxieties and deeply held beliefs are discovered and shifted. Depressive feelings, anxiety, unhappy work or personal relationships are often the result of unknown roadblocks we erect to protect us at a cost. Therapy provides a private and safe venue for discovering the reasons why life can feel flat, meaningless or frightening and can be the catalyst for profound movement and growth.

“I am a very engaged, active therapist. I enjoy the practical while trying to understand the systemic and root nature of a problem. I'm interested in a work relationship that is collaborative, drawing on the expertise and strengths of the client. . I tend to see many different kind of couples in my practice. I like teaching couples via the ideas of the Imago technique: a different way to communicate through the " stuck places"- but with a different outcome. I enjoy the work and believe that couples can find a way back to each other and their "better selves."

I use an insight oriented approach to aid individuals in understanding and interrupting repetitive patterns that may be interfering or often lead us to that "stuck" feeling.

“Life unfolds in ways not always predictable. You may be dealing with adjustments caused by your work, your health, your family, friends, or lovers. Perhaps you are anxious, fearful, depressed, or angry. You may be noticing troubling patterns repeating such as compulsive behaviors.
You don't have to suffer alone. I offer a relationship of safety and trust to explore the innerscape and discover ways to change how you are handling life's challenges.

“I find that most people who come to my office are in distress, and they want to feel better. First we try to ease the distress; then we try to understand more about what is causing it. Few things help more in this process than a relationship with a trusted and helpful advisor.

Most people I see are grateful for the relief and valuable insight they gain into their own situations.
